Dominique Soutif

After becoming a Doctor in Indian Studies at Université Paris III — his thesis dealt with the Religious and Secular Organization of the Khmer Temples between the 7^th and 13^th centuries –, Dominique Soutif joined the EFEO Siem Reap Branch in 2009, which he supervised until 2019.

An archaeologist,epigraphist and associate professor with EFEO, he has developed several programs for the study of the Yasovarman I’s ashrams — with Julia Estève (EPHE) –, and joined the Program for Khmer Inscriptions Corpus (EFEO/EPHE), the inventory of Ancient Cambodia epigraphic resources initiated by George Coedès and Claude Jacques.

Since May 2019, Dominique Soutif is part of the DHARMA project ERC 809994, a 6‑year field-study and documentation program financed through the European Union’s Research and Innovation Programme Horizon 2020.
